Why you should take out tree stumps with a stump removal service

The following blog post outlines the many reasons why you should choose Tommy Trees stump grinding services.

Stumps make it tough to replant in the exact same stump location

Tree root systems generally extend out into the yard just about as much as the branches did on the live tree. By leaving the tree stump in place| the more thick roots are also left behind which makes it impossible to plant a new| replacement tree anywhere within 10 ft of the old location.

If you really want to replace that old shade tree with a different one| then the stump will need to be ground up so as to create some space.

Aged tree roots take forever to decompose

After a stump has been ground up| the roots break down quickly also. Roots attached to a stump seem to last much longer and can hinder planting shrubs| flowers| and other landscaping amenities.

Stump removal prevents suckers which can spring up

Various trees do not die after they’ve been felled| and will send up suckers the subsequent year. These suckers are a bit similar to the multi headed Greek “Hydra” and rather than coming back as one tree| will come back as ten or twenty new trees. Grinding down the stump and the thickest portion of the root stump prevents the tree from becoming an unwelcome addition to your yard. Ground out stumps are less likely to start re-growth of roots. Expanding roots can threaten sidewalks or foundations.

Stump Removal lessens potential hazard for injury

The possibility for a cave-in or a sinkhole in the yard is the biggest reason why a sizeable tree stump should be removed instead of being left in place. There have been instances where an 80 yr walnut was removed leaving behind a stump with a girth of over 100 inches. It wasn’t until a crack opened up in the stump that discovered beneath the stump was actually a hole some 6 feet deep| which is just an accident waiting to occur anytime.
